Just trying out my new Sigma 85mm 1.4 HSM ART lens with the only model readily available. First impression: What a hefty, well built lens. Balances well on my 5DII though. Razor thin DoF at 1.4. (In the shot below, Walter's left eye is in focus, and his right eye slightly less) Focuses quite quickly.

It is still so new to me I haven't developed a pattern yet, but I will say that I was mainly using my 24-105 4.0L for portraits before, and this one will likely take over that chore completely. However, I don't think it will ever replace the 24-105 for just plain walkin around. I can see it taking some time away from my 70-200 though.
